Dwight Eisenhower actually said...

"I think you are on a job that needs to be done, and I know you will do it well."

"In this country, for one reason or another, we have, possibly, been more backward in the building of roads we need than we should have been."

"I think you people are doing not only a useful but an indispensable part of the task in bringing it about."

"If there is one enthusiastic booster for international travel in the world, I would certainly be numbered among those who come close to the top."
